Koningsdag (יום המלך) 2027 באמסטרדם

Tuesday, 27 April 2027. The date is fixed at 27 April and only shifts to 26 April in years when the 27th falls on a Sunday; 2027's 27 April is a Tuesday, so the date is unchanged.

The Dutch royal family announced in July 2026 that it will celebrate King's Day 2027 in Lelystad, Flevoland - the first time the royals have marked the day there. Detailed programme information was expected from the Lelystad municipality from September 2026 onward and had not been published as of this writing.

Yes, the general street party, canal-side atmosphere, and vrijmarkt (free market) are free to join. Only specific organised events layered onto the day, such as boat parties or club nights, are separately ticketed.

The evening before King's Day, Monday 26 April 2027, when Amsterdam's clubs and bars host concerts and DJ sets as an early start to the celebrations.

It is not compulsory, but wearing orange is a near-universal tradition tied to the House of Orange-Nassau, and most attendees do.

Yes. Amsterdam's own city-wide celebration - canal parties, the vrijmarkt, and street events - is independent of the royal family's official host city and draws large crowds every year regardless of where the King spends the day.
